IMDb's 2024 SXSW Cheat Sheet: Films You Need to Know About From the Fest10 of 14
Oddity
Is Oddity the Talk to Me of 2024? This Irish horror features a creepy wooden mannequin and is drawing comparisons to the Philippou brothers’ breakout hit from last year. But aside from being a relic-based horror film, the similarities pretty much end there. Director Damian Mc Carthy (Caveat) has crafted a fun and spooky supernatural thriller about a blind medium who uses the wooden man to solve the mystery of her twin sister’s death. At the world premiere at SXSW, Oddity had the audience jumping, screaming, and sometimes laughing as Mc Carthy’s assured direction kept everyone on their toes. Definitely a theater-worthy experience.
